Elasticsearch

    Connecting to Elasticsearch

    To configure an Elasticsearch data source, you will need to enter the following information:

    1. Hostname: the hostname or IP address of your Elasticsearch server or cluster (for example, my-cluster.es.example.com).

    2. Port: if applicable, the server port details. If no information is entered, Analytics will connect to the port in the hint text (9200) by default.

    3. Credentials: after selecting Credentials, you will be able to enter the credentials for your Elasticsearch server or select existing ones if applicable.

      • Username: the user account for the Elasticsearch server.

      • Password: the password to access the Elasticsearch server.

      • Alias: the name for your data source account. It will be displayed in the list of accounts in the previous dialog.

      Once ready, select Add and then Add Data Source.

    Configuring an Elasticsearch Data Source

    After connecting to the server, you will see a list of available Elasticsearch indexes. Select the index you want to use for your visualization.

    Note

    Elasticsearch indexes are similar to database tables. Each index contains a collection of documents with a similar structure.

    Working in the Visualization Editor

    Once you have selected your index, you will be taken to the Visualization Editor. Here you can build your dashboard. By default, the Column visualization will be selected. You can select it in order to choose another chart type.

    When you are ready with the visualization editor, you can save the dashboard in My Analytics ⇒ My Dashboards or in a specific workspace.
